Your 5 favorite PC Engine games?
« Reply #15 on: November 14, 2015, 06:06:05 AM »
XZR for Mega Drive may have less cut content and less censorship, but there is still a dramatic overall difference between the Turbo/PCE and Sega versions of Exile.

Funny you'd say that, as I was going to have Exile as one of my five games.  Is the MD/Genesis version still worth playing?

Anyway...five games:

Exile

Dungeon Explorer II

Soldier Blade

Gomola Speed

Genji Tsuushin Agedama

These aren't necessarily my absolute favorite PCE games...but at the moment, if I could only pick 5 to play forever, these would be it.
Play Turbografx.
Play the Turbografx. PLAY
THE TURBOGRAFX!!!!!!

Buh buh buh, I have almost all teh games evar.  I R TEH BESTEST COLLECTR!!

Yes, Exile is an amazing game. It's much more fun than many similar games and all four 16-bit versions look great, the Turbo and PCE versions are just dramatically better in most places when it comes to color, shading and color cycling effects. The Sega versions are worth experiencing for the sound alone. I recommend playing through the Genesis then Mega Drive versions back-to-back (on a flashcart if you have to) to appreciate all of the changes. Turbo or PCE version played shortly before the MD version is the best way to appreciate the difference in those games, as you'll be used to the better graphics first. After yo've cleared any version once, it's easy to quickly blaze through the rest.

The games are cheap enough (and I'm a big enough fan) for me to eventually get both the Genesis & MD versions.  I'd also like to get the PCE version, to compare with the turbob.
